Cycle (géométrie algébrique)En géométrie algébrique, les cycles sont des combinaisons formelles de fermés irréductibles d'un schéma donné. Le quotient du groupe des cycles par une relation d'équivalence convenable aboutit aux qui sont des objets fondamentaux. Tous les schémas considérés ici seront supposés noethériens de dimension finie. On fixe un schéma qu'on supposera noethérien de dimension finie . Pour tout entier positif ou nul , on appelle -cycle irréductible (resp. -cocycle irréductible) de un fermé irréductible de dimension (resp.
Adequate equivalence relationIn algebraic geometry, a branch of mathematics, an adequate equivalence relation is an equivalence relation on algebraic cycles of smooth projective varieties used to obtain a well-working theory of such cycles, and in particular, well-defined intersection products. Pierre Samuel formalized the concept of an adequate equivalence relation in 1958. Since then it has become central to theory of motives. For every adequate equivalence relation, one may define the of pure motives with respect to that relation.
Chow groupIn algebraic geometry, the Chow groups (named after Wei-Liang Chow by ) of an algebraic variety over any field are algebro-geometric analogs of the homology of a topological space. The elements of the Chow group are formed out of subvarieties (so-called algebraic cycles) in a similar way to how simplicial or cellular homology groups are formed out of subcomplexes. When the variety is smooth, the Chow groups can be interpreted as cohomology groups (compare Poincaré duality) and have a multiplication called the intersection product.
Motif (géométrie algébrique)La théorie des motifs est un domaine de recherche mathématique qui tente d'unifier les aspects combinatoires, topologiques et arithmétiques de la géométrie algébrique. Introduite au début des années 1960 et de manière conjecturale par Alexander Grothendieck afin de mettre au jour des propriétés supposées communes à différentes théories cohomologiques, elle se trouve au cœur de nombreux problèmes ouverts en mathématiques pures. En particulier, plusieurs propriétés des courbes elliptiques semblent motiviques par nature, comme la conjecture de Birch et Swinnerton-Dyer.
Glossary of arithmetic and diophantine geometryThis is a glossary of arithmetic and diophantine geometry in mathematics, areas growing out of the traditional study of Diophantine equations to encompass large parts of number theory and algebraic geometry. Much of the theory is in the form of proposed conjectures, which can be related at various levels of generality. Diophantine geometry in general is the study of algebraic varieties V over fields K that are finitely generated over their prime fields—including as of special interest number fields and finite fields—and over local fields.
